Well, here we are six months after the last post.  Clearly I need to focus more on writing down/sharing my thoughts.  We are now approaching the first anniversary of the death of my sister.  One year.  It's so hard to believe.  And within a six month span I cannot believe the ridiculous amount of events that has transpired since then.  It's almost putting a lifetime of episides in one year.  My mind is still reeling.  I thought life slowed down at the age of 51, and for some it obviously does.  Sadly enough.  However, I feel I've been kicked in to over drive and every experience I missed over the years decided to catch up with me.  So, what do you do when you need to contain every moment?  Well, obviously you write your novel! Under a psuedonym of course...

Thoughts of Debbie

I've been thinking about Debbie alot. She passed away July 8th and it still seems so unreal that she is no longer here. In my mind I see her as sharply as she was still here. As time goes by though she is moving in to the compartment of my heart reserved for those I've loved so much but are no longer with me. I feel very alone sometimes because so many people are gone.

It also makes me so grateful that I have my husband and my children and friends who are thoughtful, caring, and make my life so happy and special. I have a tendency to look back too much with bittersweet memories, so now I'm making sure to look forward to new memories with those I love. Every single day is the sweetest thing.
